To think my husband needs to get a proper job

My husband is ex army, been out 15 years. He's now a photographer, editorial, portraits, but hasn't earned much since pre covid, he's focussed on projects and won awards but they don't pay.

I'm the main earner, and we've just completed a house move and renovation in the last 2 years, I'm getting frustrated and tired of being the only earner. Yet I'm being unsupportive because I'm not helping him get clients.

I feel like you have posted this before. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to be the sole earner. You need to have a proper conversation either way him on it. But also be prepared if he refuses to get a “normal job”.

Be careful he isnt having a fling with someone either.
These artsy types who think their cool and hip also think they are gods gift and that younger woman want them.
I knew a bloke around 54 when he did part time DJing his wife was a hospital pharmacist with her own home outright and he thought he was clever chattibg up girls etc he got binned off in the end.
